How to Best Learn Mnemonics:
Learning the Key Words to the References.
•

The first trick is to get something in the key words to trigger an idea or image in your
students’ minds. Notice that with the key words at the top of each mnemonic, there is a
word or two that is underlined. This is probably going to be the trigger that will help
them remember the mnemonic that then will help them remember the reference.
It is best to spotlight and try to learn one Scripture Mastery scripture a week. Many
teachers print up the particular mnemonic on a 8.5 by 11 sheet here and place it up on
the chalk board or a bulletin board as a reminder and reference for that week.
Never let students tell each other the reference when scripture chasing. They won’t be
able to during the scripture bowl so better to learn that now. After you have taught one
of the mnemonics, then with scripture chasing, after your say some key words, give a
hint from the mnemonic. So after you say, “Receive all things with thankfulness.” You
may want to emphasize the word “Thankfulness” and then say things like, “What
holiday is all about thankfulness?”, “What highway do you travel on?”, “How many
pound turkey is that?”. If you consistently give these kind of hints, they will soon learn
the connections and you will not need to use hints at all.

a #1 priority for a young man.

better than anything else he can do at that age.
Great Joy Comes From Bringing Souls Unto Jesus

Christ Suffered That We Might Not Suffer

Learn Of The Savior, And Listen To His Words
To prepare for my mission at age 19,
I need to Learn of the Savior, and
Listen to his words. The Savior says
that then we’ll have, “Peace in Me” (23)

Afterwards He visited the House of Israel for 40-41 days.

Blessings Of The Word Of Wisdom
Because I’ve lived the

boy in college.
Not a 36 or 41-42 year old.

An 18 year old young man can see the Great Joy
